tance raises the amount paid 70 us on
subscription to about $50. Some years

man. lie never had very much to say
but expressed himself briefly and he.
haved himself like a gentleman. Such
a man, of course, would take the AD'
VANCE and read it for himself and
form his own opinion of it. He soon
left here and located in Mankato. He
still takes the ADVANCE. Regularly,
quietly, with few words and no objec-
tions or excuses, he makes his remit
lance, this time quietly showing his
appreciation by paying year in ad-
vance.
Mr.. Nourse is assured that his quiet
way of complimenting tie ADVANCE
from year to year is appreciated. HI
is, in this respect, the banner subscri
Der, and he will surely ''live long and
prosper:

WATER WORKS.


s. V. Saleno, representing the Mich
igan Pipe Co., was in town Tuesday on
another visit in the interest of the wa
terworks scheme, He interviewed cit
iz.ns and in the evening met with the
members of the Council. The system
he represents seems to be the most
economical and durable and will prob.
ably be adopted in case waterworks
are put in.
Our judgment is that the people will
have to be satisfied on two points be-
fore they will vote waterworks, viz. {:
~ that we need protection against
fire, and ~ that the village taxes will
not be materially increased for the
present.
We shall promptly favor any scheme
for the improvement of tho village
which the circumstances seem to de-
mand and justify, but we wish to re-
peat that Worthineton's need is bust
ness. We must have a custom mill
and something to draw farmers and
draw business to the town. The time
has come when Worthington must de-
pend upon the surrounding country
and not upon immigration, and unless
we put in mills and factories and make
good roads. we shall lose even Our
present trade.

We are indebted to Prof. Wright for
a copy of the report of the state super
intendent of schools. 1t contains
much information of value concerning
our state schools. Our attention is
naturally attracted first to reports of
the Worthington school, and we notice
that comparing the number of the en-
rollment with the number of certifi-
Gates issued upon the papers sent in,
the Worthington High School stands
third in the state. The order is: Lake
City first, Glencoe second, Worthing-
ton third. The number of high schools
in the state is So. 1t should be remem-
bered that Lake City and Glencoe are
old communities, while Worthington is
comparatively new. This places Wor.
Ellington at the head of the list of new
towns in respect to the proportion of
certificates won.

ing picture of the hard times in the

and in the same issue tells of seeing
people on the streets of Worthingtcn

that Nj. J. Bryan was closed out. by
creditors and that II. E. Torrance was
compelled, owing to the hard times. to
quit business here. In. regard to Mr..
Bryan we will say that lie had sold his
interest to his partner some four weeks
before the business was closed out I'M
der mortgage. Mr.. Torrance, we SUP
posed, closed lis business here because
his interests elsewhere demanded his
whole attention. Although we do not
deny but that times are hard and mon
ey scarce, we don't think that we are
any worse off than they are in the east
end of the county or anywhere else, at
least we haven't heard of any one being
compelled to wear hay boots.-Ells-

it as a news item without reflections
upon any one. We publish a THOUSAND
worse things about Vortbington and

there are some people out west who
have "west end" sore which they are
always obtruding and we shall be sorry
to see it extending to Ellsworth.
